Game Creation and Setup

1. Creating a Game

• The host clicks "Create Game" to start a new session
• A unique game code is generated for players to join
• Players can join by entering the game code and their name
• Players can change their names before the game starts

2. Game Settings Configuration

• Round Time: Adjustable from 10 seconds to 30 minutes using a slider
• Multiple Spies Variation: Toggle to enable 2-3 spies instead of the traditional 1 spy
• Spy Count: Choose between 2 or 3 spies when multiple spies variation is enabled
• All Spies Variation: Enable random chance that all players become spies
• All Spies Chance: Set percentage (1-99%) for all players becoming spies

3. Location and Role Selection

• Host can select which locations to include in the game
• Each location has 15 unique roles (e.g., beach has lifeguard, surfer, beach vendor, etc.)
• Players can select specific roles to include or exclude
• Default includes all locations and roles

Game Start and Role Assignment

1. Role Distribution

• Each player receives a unique character image representing their role
• Regular players see their specific role (e.g., "Lifeguard at the Beach")
• The spy only sees "You are the spy" with no location information
• In multiple spy variations, all spies are unaware of each other

2. Game Interface

• Players see all other players with their character images
• Timer shows remaining time in the round
• Location is hidden from all players during gameplay
• Players can mark others with red X's to track suspicions

Questioning and Discussion Phase

1. Asking Questions

• Players take turns asking questions about the location and their roles
• Questions should be specific to the location (e.g., "What's the weather like?" for beach)
• Regular players must answer truthfully based on their role
• The spy must give plausible answers without revealing they don't know the location

2. Answering Strategies

• Regular Players: Use role-specific knowledge and location details
• Spy: Give generic answers that could apply to multiple locations
• The spy should avoid overly specific or location-specific details
• Both sides should maintain consistency in their answers

Voting System

1. Early Voting (Optional)

• Players can vote early if they suspect someone is the spy
• Early votes are visible to all players
• Players can change their early votes
• Early voting doesn't end the round - it's for information gathering

2. Final Voting

• All players must vote at the end of the round
• Players can vote for one person or "Everyone is a spy"
• Vote counts are displayed on player cards
• Player with the most votes is accused of being the spy

3. Voting Results

• If a regular player is accused, the spy wins
• If the spy is accused, the regular players win
• In case of a tie, the accused player is revealed as their true role

Advanced Strategies

1. For Regular Players

• Ask questions that require specific location knowledge
• Use your role's unique perspective in answers
• Pay attention to players who give generic answers
• Coordinate with other regular players through voting

2. For the Spy

• Give answers that could apply to multiple locations
• Listen carefully to other answers for location clues
• Ask questions that help you deduce the location
• Maintain consistency in your story

3. General Tips

• Use the red X feature to track suspicions
• Pay attention to voting patterns
• Consider the timer - longer rounds allow more questioning
• Remember that spies don't know each other in multiple spy variations
